Working with a non-speaking Native American child to learn his tribe's language using high-tech AAC.
What is it about?
Many Indigenous languages are endangered, and language reclamation and revitalization are culturally important activities. But for AAC users, there are often many challenges to overcome to participate, including the availability of vocabularies and voices.
Why is it important?
This project will develop new ways for people who speak other Native American languages to communicate. They will help provide examples of how to create and work with AAC and language learning, rather than working with users who already understand more than one language.
